Pirates Designate Tyler Beede, Dillon Peters For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | September 15, 2022 at 4:51pm CDT

The Pirates designated right-hander Tyler Beede and lefty Dillon Peters for assignment this afternoon, per a team announcement. Southpaw Eric Stout was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Beede’s spot on the active roster; Peters had been on the injured list, so there’s no corresponding transaction in his case. Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster count drops to 38.

Beede spent four months in Pittsburgh, working primarily as a multi-inning reliever. Since being claimed off waivers from the Giants in mid-May, he’s worked 51 2/3 innings across 25 appearances (including five starts). It was Beede’s longest stretch of MLB action since 2019, but the 29-year-old generally struggled. He posted a 5.23 ERA with the Bucs, only striking out 14.8% of batters faced on a modest 9.1% swinging strike percentage. Beede has induced a fair number of ground-balls, but the lack of swing-and-miss eventually squeezed him off the roster.

A former first-round pick, Beede had spent his entire professional career with the Giants before this year. He made 22 starts in 24 appearances with San Francisco three years ago, pitching to a 5.08 ERA but working in the mid-90s with nearly average peripherals. It was enough to offer some hope that Beede might be a back-of-the-rotation option for a few seasons, but his 2020-21 campaigns were mostly wiped out by injury. He underwent Tommy John surgery in March 2020, keeping him out of action until last July. After a month primarily spent working his way back into game shape, he suffered a lower back strain that ended his 2021 campaign after a lone big league outing.

Beede is out of minor league option years, so the Giants had to carry him on the big league roster or make him available to other teams this season. He spent the first month in the Bay Area, coming out of the bullpen six times. After walking more batters than he struck out, he was designated for assignment and placed on waivers. Pittsburgh used their relatively high priority on the waiver wire to bring him aboard, but he didn’t manage to sustain some early success. Beede carried a 2.64 ERA as a Pirate through the end of July, but he’s been tagged for an even 9.00 ERA in 21 frames since then.

The Bucs will now place him on waivers themselves. He’s averaged 95.6 MPH on his sinker this season, with the still-intact arm strength perhaps intriguing enough another team will roll the dice on a claim. Beede is slated to be arbitration-eligible for the first time this offseason and would be controllable through 2025 if another team is willing to give him a roster spot.

Peters, meanwhile, was first acquired from the Angels in July 2021. The 30-year-old picked up six starts down the stretch last season, but he’s worked primarily as a long reliever this year. Peters has started just four of his 22 outings in 2022, tossing 39 1/3 innings. He owns a 4.58 ERA and has fanned 15.8% of batters faced while walking opponents at an elevated 10.3% clip. He landed on the 15-day injured list in early August with inflammation in his throwing elbow, but he’s apparently ready for reinstatement after a pair of rehab outings at Double-A Altoona.

Like Beede, Peters is out of minor league options. The Bucs would’ve had to reinstall him onto the MLB pitching staff now that he’s healthy, but they’ll instead take him off the 40-man roster. He’ll land on waivers in the next few days. Peters is a virtual lock to qualify for early arbitration as a Super Two player this winter if another team were to claim him and keep him in the big leagues. He’s controllable through 2026.

          Well finally, after all these years, it’s official—even the Pirates see no value in him. You could see this coming when the Giants drafted him.

    Tyler Beede has been such a disappointment. He was a first round draft pick twice: once out of high school and then out of Vanderbilt. He’s really never had one quality season in the majors but at least he made it there. It just goes to show how hard it is to draft prospects in baseball, especially pitching prospects.

      He did pick up a hot TV wife. He had 1 good season for vandy and his final year there basically showed who he really was as a pitcher. Buehler and Fulmer pitched well every year (but even Fulmer went bust)

    Actually there are two camps. Camp Billy Jean and Camp Beat It and we do not get along with each other at all. Many have called it a rivalry, but it’s just pure hatred. Limbs have been lost, families have been broken apart, and lifelong friendships have shattered.

        Suwinsky, despite his raw power strikes out way too much, another 3 last night
        In all, the team struck out 14 times last night
        Cruz himself did it 4 times
        Making outs is part of the game, doing so by swinging and missing ad nauseum isn’t natural. Not by 9 offensive players

      Yeah, he has a lot of upside. Agree. We can all hope. But in many ways, he reminds me of Gregory Polanco when he first arrived. We all talked upside while whispering he had no eye for spin pitches, no plate discipline and no understanding of pitching counts and strategies
      The most hopeful thing I’ve seen recently isn’t Cruz or Suwinski but rather, the two kids who pitched the doubleheader against the Reds. Add in Contreras and you may have the makings of something

      Allow me to repeat this again
      striking out 16 times as they did last night is unacceptable
      Cruz, Suwinsky, Chavis and Hayes all have over 100 of them

    in 3 innings tonight they’ve struck out 8 times
    If that’s acceptable, perhaps you should try out to be a part of their staff because it’s apparent striking out repeatedly is fine by Shelton

      And apparently living dead red is ok with their pitching coach, as well. This is a continuing trend here. Whether it’s heat down Main Street or hanging curves, it happens way to often

    I was never a fan of getting beede in the first place. Peters was mediocre and judging by the second to last sentence it was more about not paying him next season than actual performance.

    Beede pitched fine in relief but then they had the brilliant notion to start him and he was very bad each time.I think that they had run out of starters.Peters started the year with I think 16 scoreless innings but hasn’t been good since but couldn’t he have been injured?I think that these are questionable calls and if Peters was released because of the potential for a few hundred thousand dollars more next year shame on BC.It is not like he has a bunch of all stars coming up although it seems that they have a couple extra relief pitchers newly acquired who they might want to get a look at over the rest of this season.I hope that these two guys pass through waivers but I doubt that they will.

    Don’t worry, the enablers are saying the Pirates will be good in 2024. These same people said two years ago they would be good in 2023. By next June it will be 2025.
